Valentino Introduces 'Empathy' Campaign for FW20/21 Collection
A charitable initiative for the Lazzaro Spallanzani Hospital in Rome.
For Valentino‘s Fall/Winter 2020/2021 collection, the brand has introduced ‘#ValentinoEmpathy’, a heartfelt campaign and collection created for a new world that is social distancing. Brought to life by Valentino’s Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli, the campaign is simultaneously a charity project donating 1 million euros to the Italian Lazzaro Spallanzani Hospital in Rome.
Pierpaolo Piccioli’s empathy-inspired special project celebrates a society with no place, boundaries or categories, a society widely different to the world’s current circumstances. From this ideology comes Valentino’s new Women and Men’s FW20/21 advertising campaign, shot in places where acclaimed artists are living with their loved ones.
All talent – including names such as Naomi Campbell, Liu Wen, Christy Turlington, Tali Lennox, Ghali, Leon Dame and others – will be captured wearing a look from the upcoming collection. The end project will be a different seasonal advertising campaign consisting of portraits, with each portrait being taken by someone that they have been sharing time and space with during lockdown.
